Story updated
The story in brief
21-second readManchester United kicked off against Atletico Madrid in their second match of the Champions League league phase. First half Michael Carrick’s message before kick-off would have been to keep it tight, but United did not take heed of the message.
After just a minute, the hosts had the lead. Álex Baena was onto a ball over the defence, got into the area and squared for Pablo Barrios, whose shot trickled into the back of the net.
